Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed July 18, 1912. Serial No. 710,164.

Patented lUec. ll?, MM2.

the harness` to reduce the number ot' harness' and donp trames required and to obviate the necessity for a. slackener. It may" be used on plain looms as well as (lobby looms.

It consists principally invproviding a sin- Ile trame with two heddle bars at each end of, the frame, the old style of trame having one heddle bar at each end.

lt also consists inconstructingl the doup trame. with two doups, one at each end of the harness, the doup frame being positioned between two harness frames.

`ln the drawing` herewith accompanying and forming a part of this invention, Figure l is an elevation ot my improved harness trame; Fig. 2 is an, elevation of two frames, one of the iframes beingin down position.; Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view of the. harness showing one heddle unit; and Fig. 4 is an elevation ot' the top and bottom members of the doup frame. l

Same reference characters indicate like parts in the several figures..

For the purpose of this specification I have designated two heddles on the front' frame and two heddles on they second frame together` with a doup trame and two doups, one at the top and one at the bottom, a heddle unit. j

, Insaid drawings A areheddle shafts and B are rigid strapsconnecting the top and bottom shaft together. Mounted yin said straps and extending horizontally substantially in the same vertical plane are two heddle bars C and C at the top and two heddle bars D andv D at the bottoni. To

the heddle bars are secured heddles H Hol the type now in common use. Fig. 3 shows in detail the method of mounting .the

heddles and doups. It will be noted that the positions alternate. In the front han ness one heddle is attached to heddle bar C at the top and heddle bar D at the bottom, and a second heddleis' attached to heddle bar C at the top and to heddle bar D at the bottom. The same is true in the second harness. In this unit one doup E is attached to the top shaft F and a second doup E is attached to the bottom shaft F', the (loups E and E extending toward each other and loe' ing provided with the usual eyes G. The doups are connected up with the heddles in the usual manner. These units are repeated as' many times as is necessary to till the harness. I

The operation of the heddles and ndoups,

so far as the operation of weaving 1s oon-` cerned, is substantially the same as in. the leno looms now in common use. Applicant accomplishes the same result with two har nesses and one (loup frame as is now accomplished bly two pairs of harnesses and two doup frames.

Having thus described my invention and its use, lli claim:

l. A lbom harness provided withA two pairs ot' heddle bars, one pair at the top and one pair at the bottom, two series of heddles, one series attached to the top bar of each pair and the other series attached to the bottom bar of eachpair, and doups connecting said hedd'les. i i

2. A' loom harness provided with two pairs of heddle bars, one pair at the top and one pair at the bottom, two' series of heddles, one series attached to the top bar ot' each pair and the other series attached to the bottom bar of each pair, and a doup connecting said heddles comprising two frame members positioned between the ladjacent harnesses,

ries projecting upwardly.
